Do fae folk exist outside of Ireland? i know we here at Almost Canon believe they do! So this week were venturing deep into the arctic circle and investigating the stories of the 'Little People', specifically the Arctic Pygmies. We then follow the trail out of the snow and ice and into the mountains where stories of these fae-like beings are still told. We look at whether the vikings battled these pygmies when they landed on the eastern shores 1000 years ago; we look at stories told by high arctic explorers as well as stories told by prospectors and adventures within the Brooks and Mackenzie mountains. We also connect some dots and uncover something at the end that opens the door to way more questions!

This week we do a deep dive into the Nahanni Valley otherwise known as the Valley of the Headless Men. We look at several different legends from this lost world including why it's called the Valley of the Headless Men as well as the different of cryptids and prehistorical monsters that are said to exist there. We also look into the story behind the White Queen and if there actually is a tropical valley somewhere within the Nahanni and its possible connection to Inner Earth
